We need to find our defense or this is going to be a long and tough stretch.

I was just telling my brother that he should've fouled out already with all the reaches he does

Boston expended no real energy hunting Cole on every play and they Brown got in a nice groove and now all they have to do is turn it up a little.

Hey, I wonder if we have an athletic 6'7" defender we could put on Brown....

Brown's handles are still so bad in some segments, but he cought fire in 4th. Game.Set. Match.

Welp. Guess Boston will win this one and choke against whoever comes out of the west per usual.

Here's the good thing the Celtics with Brown and Tatum will never win a championship and they're in the middle of their window whereas the Magic haven't even entered theirs.

At this point, it doesn’t matter.

Games don't get any easier from here. Orlando gotta learn how to grow from this and hold water to prevent us from sinking in the standings.

Team doesn't know how to deal with physicality which more teams are going to do against us moving forward.

Does that 6'7 player also space the floor for an already struggling offense?

Guess Celtics put us back in our place. They have a ton of vet talent. Let’s hope we learn something.

Sure... but when he was playing, we were +11. I hear defense doesn't matter though.... :banghead:

Nah, I think people just have a soft spot for Cole and don’t want to criticise him even though his flaws are glaring to many others. It’s like they only watch one side of the court when he plays.

Moe gets more freedom because people have low expectations for him which he routinely outperforms. If Cole wants 6MOTY type regard then he has to play like one on both sides of the court.

Have you read the posts?

There are legit posts saying Cole has been horrid this last week and he's shooting 51/40/83. If that's what horrid is on an offensive starved team then I'll take it.

Should we bring Vuc back then?

Putting up decent scoring stats while your lineup is getting toasted doesn’t make him an effective player. I don’t get why people ignore that completely. I mean, they’re happy to exaggerate how much Black holds the team back but then they’re blind when White/Brown/Pritchard/etc are shooting straight over Cole or blowing by him with one step.

It doesn’t matter now that he has momentum. We should have kept AB in the game.

He's made 4 threes in these two games.
